Busy updating to 5.1.1 via PC Companion too, OTA wasn't picking it up.

Yay.

Since the update, my alarm does not ring any more, it only vibrates.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Updated to 5.1.1 OTA yesterday, must say I haven't noticed much difference except for the 3 little dots under the spell check word selector thing

ya not much difference at all.

im highly pissed off though. I woke up Friday morning and my touch screen stopped working where the notification bar is, the night before it was fine, wake up and it stopped working, WTF?
It is literally that entire section at the top, the size of the notification bar.
This was before 5.1.1 , people mentioned reloading firmware, so i upgraded to 5.1.1 and no change.
I tried using nova launcher to see if it was a software thing but nope nothing.

Asked a guy here for replacement cost, R2000. meh. guess ill live without it. Seriously annoyed at this, Sony can actually go suck a fat one.

My phone is dying a slow painful death, bottom of the touch screen stopped working.

Gonna do a factory reset with pc companion, maybe just maybe its software related :(

I think this is a common issue for which people have found workarounds (Google it....common to Z series phones). Doesn't seem a sufficient reason to return a phone. What other issues are you facing?

guys, my phone restarts itself randomly.

sometimes it's just lying on my desk, without being used for anything, and it'll restart.

anyone else having this issue?

I've done a software repair a while ago and that seemed to fix the issue, but now it's back, even after the software update :wtf:

Overheating due to a runaway app?

does it feel hot when this happens?
